    The Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended, is designed to 

prohibit discrimination on the basis of age in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance. The Act also permits federally 

assisted programs or activities, and recipients of Federal funds, to 

continue to use certain age distinctions and factors other than age 

which meet the requirements of the Act and these regulations.
